Henley Rourke is a woman who loves a challenge. A while back, Gerri Wilder convinced her and two friends to make an interstellar jump to another galaxy. A thrill too hard to resist, Henley found herself on a planet filled with gorgeous shifters. But she's restless and looking for a little adventure. And then she meets Damen Iceri. Badass. Shifter. Oh, yeah, and so hot, he makes her undies disappear. She gets more than she expects when she realizes Damen isn't the only hot shifter who wants her. Gunner Lukas, alpha of the Summit Bear Clan is a pair with Damen. Gunner is also the alpha to Damen's omega. Bound by tradition and ritual, these two bears are looking for their mate, the one woman to complete their triad. And that's Henley. But he's not sure how she will handle finding out. When this triad gets together, things go from hot to explosive. They're ready to make their mating dreams come true along with all the dirty thoughts she's had since meeting them. A forever threesome? All about her? Yes, please! But there's no time to think about forever-not when they are charged with finding the source behind a series of deaths by poison and doing their best to keep Henley from becoming the next victim.

In localities where fruit is plentiful at harvest time, much of it rots on the ground, which brings to mind the old proverb: Waste not, want not. Yet there is a death of printed matter on food preservation in the libraries, and the homemaker's grapevine is the common carrier of information and misinformation.This book has been compiled in an effort to combine under one cover the excellent research efforts of the government agencies (US Department of Agriculture and local Extension Services) and booklets and pamphlets of the manufacturers of food preservation supplies, together with workable solutions of successful, experienced homemakers in the various methods of saving food in season. the emphasis has been on simplification of the information so that a beginner could proceed intelligently, even if Mother or Grandmother isn't available for consultation.

For the Oaks family at Aumery Park Farm in Sleightholmedale, life and death follow the rhythms of the seasons. As the children grow to adulthood, Jonadab Oaks finds his patriarchal authority diminishing. Joseph is already far away in Canada: now George and Elizabeth insist on a home of their own, wild Tamar defies him to make a life with her illegitimate child outside the dale, and even docile Martha wants to wed. But family is family, and as his increasingly far-flung brood face their own joys and sorroes, times of loss and prosperity, Jonadab learns a new wisdom - and keeps a new generation of Oaks heartbound to the farm in the Yorkshire Dales . . .

Enjoy that fresh harvest taste all year. Whether you’re using a dehydrator, oven, or the sun’s rays, you can easily dry your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, and meat. Teresa Marrone’s simple step-by-step instructions cover all the basics you need to know about drying, storing, and rehydrating your favorite foods. With over 140 dried-food recipes — ranging from veggie chips to casseroles and beef jerky to baby purées — you’ll be amazed at the variety of healthy and delicious options that dried foods offer.

The main objective of writing the three volume 'Advances in Solar Energy Technology' is to consolidate all the relevant latest information available in the field of solar energy (applied and theoretical in nature) and to as sist both the students ( i. e. undergraduate, postgraduate, research scholars etc.) and the professionals (i.e. consulting, design and contracting firms). I have discussed each and every topic in depth rather than a cursory overview. All the material required on a particular topic is included in the chapter and I have wherever possible given useful relationships in equation, graphical and tabular form. It is hoped that this completed Solar Energy Technol ogy will serve the best source material in this field. The first chapter deals with the evacuated tubular col lecors suitable to operate at a temperature of about 150°C with a daily energy collector efficiency in excess of 40 per cent. These collectors thus would be useful for efficient operation of Solar Airconditioning System, Power Generation and Process Heat System. Various advanced features like vacuum insulation, selective black coating, anti-reflective coating, heat pipe, cusp reflector, etc., used in designing this advanced type of collector are discussed separately in this chapter. Transient mathematical model for its perfor mance prediction and different designs of evacuated tubular collectors commercially produced in different countries of the world are described in brief to give the reader a good picture about their scopr and working.
